User Testimonials
	Amazon API Gateway	MuleSoft Anypoint Platform
Likelihood to Recommend	API GW is great for giving access to asynchronous operations that are fast and don't need to be online all the time. Lambda functions are the classic example. In the past, an operation that is called on via an HTTP endpoint would be implemented using a server-based solution. With high availability in place that would include a server or two and a load balancer. Over time this setup can be costly, especially if the service is not used at full capacity; cycles are wasted when the servers are sitting there waiting to respond. If the operation can be distilled down to a function, an API GW + Lambda solution could be put in place that performs the operation as needed only when requested. Comparing the low price point for API GW requests and Lambda CPU+Memory, the savings can be night and day over the server-based implementation. Incentivized Michael Jenkins Senior Systems Reliability Engineer Read full review	MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is best tool in the market for developing APIs with complex structures communicating with various different types of applications including web applications as well as legacy applications. Also applications including database connectivity for fetching and updating data in the DB tables. I cant think of any scenario which MuleSoft Anypoint Platform could not be used for developing the integrations. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	API Gateway integrates well with AWS Lambda. This allows us to build a web server in the language and framework of our choice, deploy it as a Lambda function, and expose it through API Gateway. API Gateway manages API keys. Building rate limiting and request quota features are not trivial (or interesting). API Gateway's pricing can be very attractive for services that are accessed infrequently. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Provides wide range of popular connectors like salesforce, netsuite, sftp and many more. A user can easily integrate with those services using specific connector. Support API development using RAML and desing tool. The platform is very good in data type classification. Cloud deployment and post deployment monitoring is easy. A user can configure application worker as per need. Alert and notifications are real time. Incentivized Kamta Prasad Technical Lead Read full review
Cons	I think there should be another way of enabling CORS. It basically creates OPTIONS for every endpoint, which makes your API Gateway look complicated. The integration timeout limit is 30 seconds, which limits you into that time. API Gateway UI should be improved and should work correctly when more than two people are adding/editing endpoints. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Has more features than what we really need so we're paying for more than we use. Sort of like paying for an Abrams tank when all we really need is a Toyota Corolla. Not a value product, tends to be expensive. Takes a while for developers to learn to use Mulesoft Anypoint.

Alternatives Considered	Pricing is better at Amazon API gateway. Amazon API gateway is more user-friendly than SAP HANA Cloud. But SAP HANA Cloud supports more programming languages.

Return on Investment	Positive, which accelerated business deliveries in months Negative, but in our positive case, if you are going to change the solution in the future, you need to adjust several things for the new solution.
